*By Daily Press staff*

There are only three free Thursday concerts left at the Santa Monica Pier for the summer. Tonight’s theme is family reggae, performed by Morgan Heritage. Patriarch Denroy Morgan and a portion of his 29 offspring bring you real, heart-felt, up-in-the-hills roots reggae from Jamaica.

The opening act, Upstream, performs an energetic style of rock influenced reg-gae, techno, funk, hip hop and soca.

Next week’s highlight is Grammy winner Delbert McClinton.

Each concert, held on the beach next to the pier, will begin at 7:30 p.m. and end 9:30 p.m.
